More Fun with Card Candi

Hello Stampers~

Today I'm sharing another fun way to use Flourishes new Candi embellishments. I shared this card on the Flourishes Blog on Monday, along with a video of ideas for Candi; but today I'm giving you all the card details.

I used a Spellbinders Postage Nestabilities Die to create the fun edge that the Copper Card Candies so perfectly fit into. I colored the Candi using my E29 Copic Marker from the Flesh Tones 2 Collection. I then adhered the Candi with Candi Fix, which is a sheet of 440 dimensional foam squares, perfect for adhering smaller embellishments to your projects. I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder to add that beautiful texture to the background. Lots of sponging with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink made the layers really pop! I added a bit of pretty plaid patterned paper from My Mind's Eye's Lost and Found Sunshine Pad. Glossy Accents gives the flower jar a glass-like appearance. I added a single strip of 1/8" Velvet Ribbon, and a beautiful Spellbinders Labels Ten Nestabilities Die finish things off nicely. The card size is 4-1/4" square.
